The traditional walls enslaved me in my childhood, which gave me the ability to look through the dark and watch life around. Wherever repression has come into effect, there is an urgent need to project our mind to the public in any form. In my case, I chose film as a support to express my thoughts to the audience. At last my first film spread the colours on the silver screen after thousands of images projected in the mind. My Life Parter won several awards for its first film. From here, I began my journey as a film-maker.
The movie narrates the story of two male friends-turned-lovers, Richard and Kiran, both born and brought up in different cultural backgrounds. When Kiran goes through a rough patch of life, Richard's care and love brings him back from the brink. They realize that if both of them care and love each other more than any woman, then why not just share their lives with each other for good. Issues crop up when they plan to add a baby to their lives, for reinforcing their mutual bond. With Indian legal system which does not allow a man to adopt a child on his own, , Richard and Kiran came to a consensus as a way out. Richard, who is a bisexual, marries an orphan girl, Pavithra. This decision changes their life forever and brings them at crossroads.
The movie is an individual reaction of a blind person, who cannot explain what the Vision and the world of Sound he lives in. Raghavan, the protagonist is a blind, who lives 65 years of his life only through the world of sound. His adopted-son Abdulla compels him for an eye transplantation fearing that he may suffer social isolation due to hearing impediments in old age. Raghavan was too late when he realized after the eye transplant, that eyes are only mere instruments and experiences stored in the mind results in seeing them. He's unable to move forward into the world of vision, because he has no reflections of vision stored in his brain. At his age he doesn't have time to realize whatever that comes before the eyes and stored in the brain.
The film portrays the accidental fall of eight people into the pit and their efforts to get out. The people are caught in a mental quagmire where the chains of cast, creed and power that tied them prevented them from helping each other.
